PROF. DR. WILLIAM HITCHON
From June 17 to 19, 2015, Prof. Hitchon from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA) will be a guest at SFB-TR 87. He has worked in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering since 1982 and will give an overview of his research on the simulation of low temperature plasmas. The talk has been held on Friday, June 19, 2015 at 10:30 a.m. (Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Building ID, Room 03/411).
Prof. Hitchon already visited the SFB-TR 87 in Bochum during the first funding phase. Since then a fruitful cooperation exists.

DR. MAHDI SHIRAZI
Dr. Mahdi Shirazi from Universiteit Antwerp is a Marie Curie ITN RAPID fellow and gives a presentation during his secondment at the Ruhr-University Bochum on Monday, June 29th, 2015 at 9:15 am, NB 5/158 (Seminarraum EP2). His talk is about Multi-scale modelling of plasma catalysis.
n this research, the interaction of free radical species with a Ni catalyst surface were studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and this information is now being implemented in a kinetic Monte Carlo model, to study the catalytic mechanisms.
He comes from the research group PLASMANT. The research group is part of the chemistry department, and belongs to the center-of-excellence NANO of the University of Antwerp. The group specialized in computer modeling of plasmas and plasma-surface interactions, for applications in material science, the microelectronic, medical and environmental applications (plasma catalysis).
Anybody interested, is welcome to join!
